The Opportunity
Are you looking for a career which is rewarding, at the cutting edge of project development and where you can really make a difference? Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the SZC Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project is now seeking private investment with a view to start construction in 2024. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
We’re looking for a pragmatic and passionate Programme Manager to join the team, reporting directly to our Technical Director delivering contracts with a value in excess of £1bn.
Our teams are set up to work flexibly, with a hybrid working approach between our offices and your home. We provide a full suite of IT equipment to ensure that our employees can work from home comfortably and effectively.
The Role
You’ll own and manage the overall Responsible Designer (RD) Nuclear Services Agreement (NSA) contract, valued at over £1 billion, delivering replication from HPC, design, and ancillary services for the SZC Project.
You’ll also oversee and manage associated contracts within the RD organization, including the Intellectual Property Licence Agreement (IPLA), Design Performance Guarantee Agreement (DPGA), and contribute to the preparation and negotiation of the Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA).
Your responsibilities will extend to setting up and implementing the NSA management organization within the SZC structure, ensuring the project can fulfil and discharge its full responsibilities under the NSA Contract. In addition, you will lead the NSA management team, fostering collaborative and constructive ways of working across the project.
As the subject matter expert, you’ll act as the go-to person within the SZC organization for matters related to the above contracts. Building and managing effective relationships with all stakeholders, both in France and the UK, will be a key aspect of your role.
Working closely with SZC Programmes, you will ensure the overall delivery of design, design replication, and engineering services adhering to safety, quality, time, and cost standards. This includes the preparation, approval, and execution of the annual Task Orders.
The Skills
You’ll be an experienced Programme Manager, with great influencing and persuasive skills, with the ability to build mutually beneficial relationships across multidisciplinary teams and with stakeholders at all levels.
You’ll be a team-player, focused on delivering effective and efficient results whilst motivating and encouraging the wider team.
Bringing excellent planning and organisational skills, including the ability to manage several work streams simultaneously whilst keeping focus on driving projects through to implementation, will be key.
Experience of delivering major infrastructure projects such as the HPC project is beneficial, however exposure to other highly regulated and safety conscious industries is equally as important.
If the above sounds like you, then we’d love to hear from you!
